January 2006: Des Moines' Hugh Hawkins won a Powerball jackpot prize worth $113.2 million. "We are very, very fortunate," said Hawkins, who appeared at a news conference with his wife, Cindy, their 3-year-old daughter Katie and 6-year-old son Alex. Hawkins said he had been on a business trip the week of the drawing and learned only days later that it was a winner. He had stopped at the Dahl's supermarket where he purchased it and heard people talking about a winner. He pulled the ticket from his pocket and asked the clerk to check it. "Well, it was a match, and I haven't slept in two weeks," Hawkins said. Register file photo
